I am a website flipper and eBusinessFlipper.com is all about website flipping than what is the need of article about affiliate marketing on a Blog about website flipping? Well, Affiliate marketing is very important skill to learn if you want to make real money from the website flipping.

This is because without affiliate marketing, your website business won’t have huge revenue and without a huge revenue, it won’t sell for good price. As a rule of Business Industry, any Business (Online or Offline) sell for 3-5 times it’s annual revenue. I mean any business’s fair valuation is the 3-5 years of it’s annual revenue. So if your website has the annual revenue of US $ 1000 than it can be worth US $ 3000-5000 according to international business standards.

And at the same time of your Website’s Annual revenue is $ 1 Million than it can be worth of $ 3-5 Millions. Now, without affiliate marketing, you can not generate lots of income from your web property. There are other ways to monetize the websites such as Google AdSense, Chitika, AdBrite…etc.. But this revenue is a peanut revenue in comparison to affiliate marketing revenue. And this is the reason, to boost your website business revenue, it is very necessary for a website flipper to understand the basics of website flipping.
